New interview from JP 4gamer site

Took a look at the translations on Eorzeapedia. I tend not to spend too much time on the forums here, partly because of the vitriol of players here, partrly because the stubbornness can tend to make me lose my own temper, and partly because it sometimes makes it seems hopeless. However, I liked what I heard in this interview. It looks like they're going to focus on bringing the game up to snuff, and then making it unique instead of trying new things from the start just to be different. It also looks like the devs know that they need to impress new players, not just satisfy the tiny amount of very loud people on the forums. Well, those are the two major issues that FFXIV had at launch and I'm happy to see them working sensibly about it.

I was getting a bit impatient, but my faith's been restored a bit by this interview. I just hope 1.18 comes out soon so i can get adjusted to the new combat system already.

My japanese is crap but I feel like what that is saying is that the Airship will not fly over the "actual map". In other words, it will not be part of the map that players play in. Meaning it will be its own instance.

It will probably be exactly like FFXI and/or the boat to Limsa.

I swear I can see a Taru up there on the airship flipping me off as Im running from Bloodshore to Limsa...

I'll continue to champion it until we see something more than, "It's a cool idea". The dev response did say it would need to wait till after the battle changes so expect me to start shouting about it again after the battle updates are done.

I'll be right there with you man.
